You can purchase an unlimited talk and text plan for $45.00. This includes 1G of data. You can purchase the plan on the internet, various stores, and by phone. You can get this plan for a basic phone or smart phone. If you are looking for less service, they have that also. Just look for refill cards for gophones.

You can purchase a refill card at an AT&T; store, or at one of the authorized locations including:Wal-MartCVSBest BuyTarget

You purchase your minutes with AT&T; Prepaid GoPhone Refill Cards thay have all kinds of sizes 10.00 25.00 50.00 beware you have only 90 days to use them though. I bought these for my kids to listen to music and play games mostly, but I got one for myself to test out. I want to see if a windows phone will workout better than my old iphone for what use it for, and if not I'll use to play music and games. Hope this helps, Robert

You can buy them as often as you want. I buy the 60 min cards which triples minutes and it lasts me about 3 months of mostly texting. You have a counter on the face of the phone that tells you how many minutes you have and how many days to use them in. I ALWAYS have way more days than minutes. As of right now, I have 113 minutes and over 300 days to use them in.

You can purchase minutes "in the form of a card" on-line (including Amazon.com) or if there is one nearby you can stop in at a BestBuy and pick it up. The card comes with instructions and a code that will apply them to your phone. You can also purchase minutes using your phone to access them with "Buy Airtime."

Can't answer for sure. I buy those Tracphones for my parents. You need to go on their website to see what they offer at the time. I think some minutes you purchase last for a month. Others up to 3 months or a year for more cost. Some things you buy give you double and triple minutes for a limited time and etc. They're nice for the person that doesn't use cell phones much where their usage doesn't constitute a monthly bill, or is on a fixed income, but you have to buy minute deals that fit your lifestyle.

You can add minutes via your phone or by . Your computer. Some companies will email your new minutes card. Others will send it snail mail.

Yes...Tracfone offers a choice of phones & they come with 'start up' minutes. Make sure you get the 'triple minutes' program...that way each time you purchase additional minutes cards, you get 3 times the stated amount...200 minutes card gets you 600 minutes, etc!

The phone comes with a battery and a proprietary charger (not the standard USB charger commonly used by cell phone nowadays). I don't think it came with any minutes, so you would have to purchase minutes. I purchased my minutes from www.tracfone.com. All minutes purchased would triple when activated. For example, I bought a 30 minutes/30 days "airtime card", when activated on this phone it becomes 90 minutes/30 days. You can re-fill the minutes before it expire. For example, you have 40 minutes/10 days left, and you add another 30 minutes/ 30 days "airtime card" to the phone, you would end up with 130 minutes/ 40 days. The battery life is pretty good when on standby. I don't talk on it long or frequently enough to know the battery talk time. Hope this helps.

I believe not. But, why do not you use all the minutes leaving about five and then purchase a phone card and THEN activate it. You should have card minutes plus a few you left.

No and yes; you can buy it and pay for minutes/data, but the minutes/data you purchase will be gone in 30 days. This might be good if you use everything in 30 days, but bad if you are expecting it to hold its value until you use everything.

Yes. It's a Tracfone phone, which means you can buy minutes cards wherever they're sold (e.g. Drugstores); you can also buy time from tracfone.com or from the phone itself.

Some of that depends on your phone. A year card comes with 400 minutes but some phones give you double minutes or triple minutes. Mine for example is a triple minute phone so with the 400 minute card I get 1200 minutes, and think I got bonus minutes too. If you can find a triple minutes Tracfone reasonable and think you should be able to, go that way. Also when you purchase new minute cards it extends you days of as well. How long depends on the card and any unused minutes from the old card are also retained . Hope this helps.

It's been a couple years since I bought my phone and no it does not come with minutes. You buy like a 60 min. card for $20.00 , then when you activate your phone you get a phone number.

If I understand you correctly, you're not sure how to go about activating the phone, and recharging the minutes. Once you activate the phone (follow easy steps in manual); You will have to buy minutes before you use. My minutes are unlimited everything, and only costs $45.00/month. You will receive a free txt each month notifying you three days before your minutes actually expire. I hope this helps.

I'm sorry Chris B. I'm pretty much a moron when it comes to the working of a cell phone. :( That was a gift I purchased for someone, did you sign up for an account to get minutes? Like it works when he's at home for internet but cuz he doesn't have the minutes right now, it doesn't work if he leaves.. sorry that probably doesn't help much but it's all I got.. ;)
